The pre order period has been extended to next week.
Arrival of stock shall be on 13th - 17th April

Surprised nobody here pre-ordered XZs.

The actual cause is not because of pre-order period been extended. It's because Sony Msia could not get the stock on time. My friend pre-ordered it and was told to wait till 13th - 17th.

which is an internal issue.

Yup.

No idea. My friend was not happy and confronted them. It doesn't make much sense because it's already available in HK.

Hi there,

I am posting here as I'm not getting much feedback over at the general forum. And, I think most likely most of the posts will be from Sony haters,  maybe? Hoping to get a better feedback from genuine Sony users here...

I am planning to get a new smartphone to replace my current Galaxy Note II (yes, very old phone). I am interested in Sony's Xperia XZ but I just saw the recent release of XZs and XZP in the near future.

Comparing XZ & XZs --- Spec wise, both seems the same with the exception of camera & RAM; but otherwise I think performance wise should be almost similar. Impressed with XZP but I think it will be quite expensive so it's not within my shortlisted options.

Sony users - do you think I should get the XZs or XZ? Any comments or suggestions?

If your budget allows, XZs all the way bro. 3GB is barely enough in 2017. I see no point to get XZ at all.

Hi Guys, really hard to get a comparison of the camera performance between the XZ premium vs the Galaxy S8. Really want to pick this XZ premium for the Motion Eye camera, but would want the low light shot to be as excellent as the S8.

But a bit weary of the performance of Sony. Last time using the sony c5 ultra dual, lag like hell. Maybe with the SD 835, it should not be a problem.

Sorry bro. The chance of that happening is 0% unless the entire JPEG team is overhauled.

The Motion Eye is really high tech. But when was the last time you shoot a slow mo video? To me that's a secondary feature.

it will be interesting to see when Sony start sourcing the new DRAM stacked sensor to other manufacturers including Apple

then upcoming iPhone will have its own motion eye feature icon_idea.gif

Unlikely in near future. They do not have any fabrication factory. Unless they buy over a company.

Sony camera needs some knowledge to use. If you have steady hand, with the manual mode, it can even beat Pixel XL.  cool2.gif

Any pics that support this claim?
And can beat Pixel XL on the same manual mode and settings?

The potential is there, but Auto mode doesn't bring it out. Auto mode tends to have high shutter speed to reduce your handshake, by sacrificing image quality. You want blurry photo or high noise? I would rather have high noise, which can be cleaned up later, if wanted. When pixel peep, the image isn't sharp, but if you perform downsampling to identical pixel count with other phones, you will see the detail is sharper.

With this kind of JPEG algorithm, I doubt it's among the very best. Even if you downsample the pics into to the same 12MP resolution, the artifacts still persist. You can go gsmarena.com and check out the low light studio shot.

Another thing is Sony's lens corners sharpness. Very very blunt in corners.
